G.T.P. UNFOLDS ITS PLANS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKS HERE
BUILD LARGEST DOCKS
ON PACIFIC COAST
Company Will Begin Construction at Once Upon the
Commodious Accommodation for Shipping at
Hays Cove—Immense Shops Will be Built
and Then in Turn Used to Provide
Material for the Floating
Docks.
The negotiations between the city
council and the Grand Trunk Pacific
have been concluded and the officials
of the company have left again for
the east. The visit of Charles M.
Hays and his party resulted in an
agreement being reached which only
requires the assent of the property
owners to become effective. The
agreement has long been hoped for
and the citizens with very few exceptions express themselves as highly
pleased that there has been a settlement of this question of taxation and
will accordingly do all in their power
to see that the necessary bylaw carries. The agreement is based upon
the one arrived at in March between
the council and Mr. Tate, the solicitor of the company when he was on
a visit here for the purpose.
With the negotiations went the unfolding by the company of its plans
for development in the city. The
company agrees to begin work at
once upon these in the event of the
agreement being entered into. The
projects which the Grand Trunk Pacific has in view are far more extensive than had been expected. In the
matter of the dry dock alone there
has been a much more elaborate
scheme evolved by the company than
it had in view at the commencement
of the undertaking.
The negotiations were conducted
in a most commendable manner
throughout and with the greatest expedition.
Amicable Conference
Mr. Hays and party arrived here by
the Prince Rupert on Wednesday afternoon. At once the council and the
officials of the company went Into
conference in the police court room
and sat practically continuously until
10 o'clock at night when a basis of
settlement had been reached.
It then remained for the solicitors
on each side to complete the formal
agreements which occupied most of
Thursday. D'Arcy Tate for the company, and Fred Peters, K. C, for
the city performed this duty and
on both sides the most watchful care
was taken to avoid anything that
would lead to future difficulty. The
agreement is short and explicit.
Taxation Fixed
The company agrees to pay ?15,-
000 taxation a year upon its property used for railway purposes in the
city. This is to continue for ten
years from the present date, there
being due now $30,000 to cover last
year and this year. As soon as any
land is alienated in any way it becomes taxable. The copany's leases
of land carries with it the usual condition that the lessee is to pay all
taxes.
On the land held by the Grand
Trunk Pacific Development Company
which is open to sale, etc., the ordinary rates of taxation will apply
and the company pay as a private Individual would.
The company also agrees to pay its
share of local improvement taxation
on all its railway lands abutting upon
the streets to be improved, which
means a great deal in Section One.
Waterfront for City
The city Is to be given 100 feet of
waterfront by the company and in
conjunction with this the Provincial
Government adds another 100 feet
adjoining it. This is at the point
where the waterfront block on which
the present company wharf is situated and the government block near
the entrance of the harbor meet and
Is In the vicinity of Eleventh street.
The city receives this without any
restrictions.
The city is to receive a large number of parcels of land throughout the
city, aggregating a total assessed
valuation of $172,270. This Is giv n
in fee simple and the city may thus
dispose of It as It sees fit.
Another class of property is to be
given under a lease of 999 years.
This includes the cemetery and park
properties. The reason for this being given under lease at a nominal
figure is mainly owing to a legal aspect of the case. The company makes
restrictions that, hese lands shall be
held for these definite purposes. Under lease this is enforceable. If given outright it would not be so. Included in this is the Fairview cemetery site containing about 60 acres,
Acropolis Hill, the land at Laurier
Square, Hays Creek Park, a parcel
on Second avenue west of the junction at Lynch's, suitable for a school
site, the squares at the corner of
McBride and Sixth avenue, the circular portion at Seal Cove Circle, the
parklike portions of Prince Rupert
boulevard and many other breathing
spaces which will become very valuable as the city grows. The assessed
value of these at present is $368,000.
Change of Policy
The railway company has found It
necessary to take back the section of
the reserve property on Second avenue between Third and Sixth streets
from the Development company. Its
plans for the station yard are not
complete enough yet to allow them
to say how much of this land will not
be required. This, therefore, also
goes in as railway land In the meantime. If any part is alienated later
and becomes a part of the Development company's property it will be
taxable again.
In return for the loss which the
city suffers here in taxation the company has turned over in fee simple
several parcels of land In the central
part of the city which may be realized upon if the city so desires. This
includes the reserved strips between
Third avenue and Fourth street from
the yard reserve near Cameron Cove

these is $152,000.
Drydock Scheme
On the other side the company
agrees to start work at once upon its
permanent works here. These are
on an elaborate scale, far greater
than were originally intended. When
completed there will be terminal
works in this city that will be the
envy of every other city on the coast.
Foremost in these is the construction of the dry dock which will start
at once. W. J. Donnelly, an eminent
engineer of New York, is in charge
in a consulting capacity, the plans
having been prepared by him. Originally it was the intention of the
company to put In a dock that would
cost about a million and a quarter.
The work has grown on their hands,
however, and now the cost is put
at not less than $2,000,000. The
location of the works is Hays Cove
near the mouth of Hays Creek.
Accessory Buildings
It is proposed to proceed at once
with the construction of the necessary wood working, boiler and other
shops. These will be of the most

permanent character, built of reinforced concrete. There will be 2,000
horsepower provided to run them and
one building alone will be 90 feet by
140 feet.
As these are completed the machinery will be installed and work
started upon the floating docks and
the pontoons connected with them.
The steel for the docks will be
brought in only partially prepared. It
will be taken care of in the shops
here and the actual installation
made. About 2,000 tons of steel will
be used in this work. The timber
for the pontoons will aggregate four
million feet. It will be landed here
and worked up in the wood shops
which are constructed. Thus it will
be seen that steady work is to be
found for mechanics in the city from
the very start. The buildings will
call for a good force of men, while
the completion of these will be immediately followed by skilled work In
the way of equipping the docks
proper.
Elaborate Plans
According to the plans which the
company has now prepared, the reserve beyond Cameron Bay extending
to Hays Creek will be cleared. Mr.
Chamberlin, the general manager of
the company, speaking with The
Journal representative last evening,
said that work would have to begin
on that undertaking very shortly.
Cameron Bay and the mouth of Hays
Creek will be filled in. From the
end of the government waterfront
section, which is all to be built on
at once, the company will continue a
line of wharfage extending all the
way to Hays Creek.
On the land side there will be long
lines of parallel trackage for the
coaches of the company. About 20
lines of road will parallel the main
line at that point. Closer to the hill
the necessary shops and works will
CONDEMNS RECIPROCITY
(Special to The Journal)
VICTORIA, June 9.—The
hoard of directors of the British Columbia Fruit Growers
Association at a meting at Kamloops passed a resolution condemning the proposed reciprocity agreement between Canada
and the United States as being
detrimental to the fruit industry of Britisii Columbia.
e built. U]i Hays Creek, near Ninth
avenue continued will be the round
house for the repairing of the locomotives of the line with the necessary shops in connection. On the
west side of the mouth of Hays Creek
the dry docks will he located.
Handle Any Vessel
These are to be constructed on the
most Improved plans. In order to
accommodate all classes of business
offering here, the dock will be In sections. It will he available as three
docks for small vessels or two sections may be brought together to accommodate a moderately sized vessel with the third section available
for small craft. Then when occasion
arises the three sections are convertible jointly Into a dock 68 0 feet long
and 130 feet wide over all. The result is that when all sections are
brought together the dock is the
most commodious oil the Pacific
coast and capable of handling any
vessel on this coast. The Minnesota
could be taken care of in il.
Ship Building Works
Under the plans prepared whereby
the dock is capable nf alteration to
suit different sizes of vessels its usefulness is very materially enhanced.
In addition to the ship yards the
dock and the large buildings for
shops there, is on the eastern side
of Hays Creek accommodation provided for a covered shed under
which may be constructed wooden
ships up to a length of about 250
feet.
The addition of this part of the
equipment, together with all the nee.
essary machinery for carrying on the
work of building is ominous. It indicates that the company Is not going to provide for repair work alone.
It is making provision for the building of vessels that will ply out of
Prince Rupert to the various ports
tributary to it. Hays Creek is to
become, not the scene of a repair
dock alone, but it is to be the home
of a constructive enterprise, namely,
a ship building yard. The effect
which this will have upon the industrial life of the city is great. Prince
Rupert is going to require a vast
number of vessels varying in size
from the fishing schooners of which
there must be a large fleet, to vessels
engaged in carrying freight and passengers along the coast. These will
all be capable of construction here
and Prince Rupert will reap the benefits.
Hotel Site Sought
The company will also proceed
with its station at an early date and
within two years the work is to begin on the palatial hotel planned for
the city. Just at present the hotel
building is being held in the background, because the officials of the
compan yare not fully decided upon
the best site. Mr. Hays asked the
council during the conference to suggest the site and he expresses his
willingness to receive suggestions
from any source as he has a desire to
settle upon it and proceed with the
work. The point in rear of the residence of General Superintendent
Mehan, overlooking the harbor, has
been recognized as the best available
location, but the president does not.
want to make any mistake.
Early this morning before the
Prince Ruperl left, at s oVloe-k, he
was out with his brother, David II.
Hays, covering the city in an effort
to locate what he felt would he the
best site. With the question of the
right location settled, work will begin at once upon the hotel building.
The site to he chosen must command
a good, unobstructed view of the harbor; it must be convenient to the
company's wharf and railway station; it must be within easy reach of
the business section and it must be
free from objectionable smoke, etc.

Yesterday was spent by President
nays, E. J. Chamberlin and the' other
officials in a tour over the line of
the railway. They proceeded by a
special train lo the end of the Steel

guidance of General Superintendent
Mehan.
Mr. Hays and Mr. Chamberlin wpre
well pleased with the progress being

SANGUINE OF VICTORY
G. H. Barnard, on Retrn from Ottawa Tells of Conditions in
Political Field
With the Conservative party never
better organized, never more enthusiastic and with such a rallying
cry as the necessity of saving the
country from reciprocity, Mr. G. H.
Barnard, M. P., who has just returned to Victoria from Ottawa, considers that at the forthcoming Do-
niining election Mr. Borden will be
returned to power with a handsome
majority. "The party," he says, has
never been In more excellent trim to
fight a campaign. It is absolutely
united in its opposition to reciprocity; while on this question the ranks
of the Liberal party have been split.
The most notable among the defections are Messrs. Sifton, Harris and
German. When the campaign is in
progress these three men will be
found on platforms denouncing the
reciprocity pact.
"The possibilities are that a redistribution bill will be brought
down early in September, dissolution
taking place as soon as it has been
put through. At present supply has
been voted up to the first of September, and a general election is
hardly probable before some time
late in October. During the present
recess the Conervatlve party is going
to carry on a strenuous campaign
throughout the country, edducating
the people on what reciprocity really
means. Mr. Borden has arranged a
tour which will carry him through
the northwest territories.
His campaign will be a whirlwind
one, as I understand that he has arranged to address two meetings
every day. He will go as far north
as Edmonton, covering the territory-
served by the Grand Trunk Pacific
lines, and will return eastward over
the Canadian Pacific system. In
Ontario, an energetic campaign will
also be carried on. Already that
province is overwhelmingly against
reciprocity. We have had excellent
reports of the strides which Conservatism is making in Nova Scotia
and Prince Edward Island, and I
believe that the coming election will
record several important gains in
the province of Quebec.
Increased Representation
"Conservatives are eagerly looking forward to redistribution. In
British Columbia it is likely that the
reprsentation will be fourteen members, or double what we have at
present. At all events it is certain
to be increased to eleven members.
The other provinces in the west will
have larely increased representation,
so that it will be possible, as it has
not been during the last two Dominion elections to ascertain what really
is the political opinion of the majority of the voting population of the
country.
"From the standpoint of the Conservative party, the feature of the
session which recently came to a
conclusion al. Ottawa was the tact of
Mr. Borden in forcing Sir Wilfrid
Laurier to represent the Dominion
at the coronation, after Sir Wilfrid
had said that he would not go. Mr.
Borden's attitude in this matter exhibited masterly act.
"There is a question of very vital
importance, not only to Victoria, but
to the pjrovlnce at large. That is
the question of having the warships
for the new Canadian navy built
either at Esquimalt or at some point
on the coast. I fear that Ihis matter
Is going to be dealt with somewhat
on tlie Hiinie lines as the disposition
of (lie fleet The government,
through Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself,
has practically admitted that the Pa-
cific coast is far more in need ot
protection than the Atlantic coast,
being inure liable tee attack. Yet, in
spite of this opinion we' find that the
majority of the ships are to be sta-
tioned 'in the Atlantic,
"1 personally do not see any
chance of any of the vessels for the:
new navy being constructed on the
Pae iflc coast. Indeed 1 am afraid
that in order to reconcile Canadian-
French opinion to the Idea of a navy
at all, ilea tall the vessels will probably he built at some point in Quebec. Yes, I know what the opinion
in Britisii Columbia will be if such
a policy is adopted; but then the
Dominion government's policy and a
sense of national fairness in the distribution of public moneys are not
necessarily synonymous."
Mr. Barnard will be in Victoria
until about the middle of July. Before leaving the east he said that
the weather there was very hot, so
much so as to be uncomfortable;
coming west in die prairies he expe-
rlenced cold weather, while on
reaching Victoria he found the conditions ideal. He was accompanied
to the city by Mrs. G. H Barnard,
whose many friends will be glad to
hear that she shows great improvement after her recent sever illness.

I GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC I
TOWNSITE
w
ELLISON
The o- ly Main Line Town-
site in British Columbia in
which the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway Company
has announced its joint
ownership.
ELLISON
SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The
first glance will show you that
ELLISON is located at the junction
of the Skeena River and the Bulk-
ley Valley. The Grand Trunk
Pacific has announced that they are
joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must
remember that up to date the Grand
Trunk Pacific has not announced
that it has any interest in any other
main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking?
STUDY THE MAP and you will
find Ellison Is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That
fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over.
What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles
in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison.
Mining machinery, ore shipments,
smelters, reduction plants and all
sorts of mining operations starting
up in this rich mineral region, must
necessarily have a metropolis, a
HUB, a headquarters. If any sane,
conservative man can figure out any
other spot except Ellison for the hub
ef the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very Inter
esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific
officials. It does seem as though
these officials, after several years of
Investigation and engineering,
would know just what they were doing when they put their official
stamp on Ellison.
o
STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to
say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity oi Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley
that there will no doubt be several
small towns, just the same as one
always finds in a mining district.
There will be towns in the vicinity
of Ellison along branch railways,
probably towns at the ends of branch
lines made to serve the mines and
the collieries, but it will be history
repeating itself in regard to the
building up of every metropolis.
Ellison has every natural advantage,
has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk-
ley Valley.
--. .— o
STUDY THAT MAP and you will
find that all of the mining
towns and railroad towns around
there just beginning to be talked
about will only be feeders to the
city and port of ELLISON. The
Gmnd Trunk Pacific has put its
official stamp on Ellison. Do you
believe the company will do as much
for townsites owned by individuals
as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you
do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If
you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little
quick money, you must decide for
yourself right now. Do you propose
to follow the individual townsite
promoters or ihe Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company.
■—■ —o
STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money Into a
real estate promoter's townsite you
will have many, many opportunities
this summer. The average promoter
is full of hurrah and red fire. He
must enthuse investors of the mail
order class with h''j wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy
tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified.
! o
STUDY THAT MAP.—If you
want to join that great army of
investors-at-long-range, then yoi'
should put your money Into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound Investment,
certain to bring you large profits,
then put your money where the
Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of
careful investigation, have put their
money.
STUDY THAT MAP.—It is not
likely the Grand Trunk Pacific
will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The
officials of the company state that
the company is not interested in any
townsite in the Hazelton district
with the exception of ELLISON.
ELLISON Is on the bank of the
Skeena at its confluence with
the Bulkley. "Sou may change railway surveys; you may change the
location of towns along the line of
road, but you cannot change the
geography of the country through
which the railway passes. The head
of navigation necessarily means an
important townsite. Ellison will
not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that
is now being opened up, and for
LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE
which Ellison will be the shipping
point both by rail and water. The
fact that trains may change engines
up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not
amount to shucks in building up a
town when such places are compared with a town located where
rails and navigation meet.
STUDY THAT MAP.—You will
find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town-
site has been reserved for future
sales, the same as the company has
done with certain sections of Prince
Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively
few lots on the market. You must
hurry if you want one.
o
STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS'
ADDITION to Ellison, only a
small parcel of land, lies within
eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being
offered. I am advising my clients
to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150
for Inside lots and ,.^i0 for corners.
Terms—10 per cent discount for
cash, or 10 per cent down and the
balance on easy terms; no interest.

% Naude Adams as a *
| Public Influence %
*************************
How is a phenomenon like Maude
Adams to be explained? Even those
who love her hesitate to claim for
her a dramatic genius of the first
order, like that of Bernhardt or
Duse. And if she lacks genius, she
does not atone for it with any world-
enslaving beauty. She is a little,
home-like woman, with gentle, intimate graces, a fanciful, elfin
humor, retiring, shy and unworldly,
yet at thirty-eight she finds herself
the most conspicuous figure upon
the English-speaking stage the most
notable woman in a nation of a hundred millions of people, writes David
Gray in Hampton's Magazine for
June.
Few living men have a fame so
widespread; probably none a personal influence so vital or far-reaching. Each year she plays to half
a million people. She cares little
for money, yet she earns, probably
twice the salary of the president of
the United States, and her gross
earning power for her manager, capitalized at five per cent, is in the
neighborhood of ten millions of dollars.
Successful as she Is In New York,
her Importance is even greater
throughout the smaller, less distracted cities, and no geographical
areas appear to limit her popularity.
South, west, north and east her
playhouses are equally crowded. She
seems in fact, to be the embodiment
of something national, to speak for
her time and countrymen with a peculiar authority.
To comprehend the meaning of
such a life and its activities we are
forced to search history for analogies, and that search shows us that
life seems to use such persons as Instruments to further spiritual progress and civilization. In fact the
agencies of our evolution have been
in large measure the artists and heroes. The hero with his faculty for
original thought and action shows
the new and higher possibilities of
conduct. The artist celebrates them
and at length the world lives them.
So the world has grown better from
the eminently strong and eminently
sweet persons that have lived in it
and from those who have interpreted them.
\l the outset, Maude Adams must
be accepted somewhat as a force of
this kind, as an evolution-working
personality, luminous with sweetness and light, even more than as
an artist; as a public influence even
more than as an actress. For her
fame is beyond her artistic achievement, large and real as that unquestionably is. .T..he. main current of
her force Is ethical rather than
aesthetic. Her appeal is fundamental to character. ' he inspires conduct rather than intellectual interest. In a curious manner she combines both the evolution-working hero and artist in one person, reaching
her highest moments as an actress
when slie Is expressing herself. If
we take any other view of her we
come upon many stumbling blocks.
CRITICISES LAURIER
London Times in Open Letter Tnkes
the Premier of Canada to
Task for His Attitude
In an open letter to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier the Sunday Times said in
part: "Empire is your greatest
theme and you preserve it In a fine
syrup of beautiful words. In 1896
you deliberately turned your back
upon the United States thereby gaining a position In which you have
since been so picturesque an ornament. You have become at once an
Imperialist and a Nationalist. When
you saw Canada become symmetrical
and strong, manufacture balancing
agriculture, a tariff wall enabling
her to offer resistance to the suck
and pull of her great neighbor, your
reward for so intelligently realizing
the policy of others was to be called
an Imperial statesman. You rested
your support on British-Canadians
and at the same time contrived to
retain the support of Quebec provin-
cialists by resisting Canadian sentiment favorable to helping the Imperial navy. Successfully for several
years you have played, the part of
Mr. Facing Both Ways. If you are
sapping Imperial interests you are
also undermining Canadian Nationalism."

things he is prepared to wait a little.
o
PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS
James Cronin, the eminent mining
man, is not one who confines his attention to that one branch of business, lie prides himself upon being
a fanner as well and has located
upon northern British Columbia as
the best field for operations in that
line as well as In the mining enterprises. Mr. Cronin has a farm in
the Bulkley Valley and on the last
trip up the river took in additional]
horses and equipment. He has returned, however, and this moraine j
left for his home in Spokane.
Mr. Cronin says there is nothing
wrong with the Hazelton countrj
either from the standpoint of mining or farming. The trouble is all
confined to the lack of transportation facilities that now exist. If
there were the means for getting the
necessary material into the country
at the present time there would be I
marked activity In both fields of en-'
terprise.
With the lack of accommodation
in the carrying trade it is impossible
to get sufficient material In the lines
required to meet the demands. In
grass seed there Is not the supply.
The same applies to potatoes for
seed. Then there. Is a difficulty In
the getting into the country of the
necessary machinery for the farm

Mr. Dixon is highly appreciate
of the great prospects of the Gram

surprised, considering the fact that
the Prince Rupert terminus is necessarily not yet within a year at least
of Its connection with the remainder

THE G. T. P. AGREEMENT
An agreement has been reached
with the Grand Trunk Pacific with
respect to the taxation of Its railway
property in the city which will appeal to all as an eminently fair one
to both sides concerned. Its ratification by the ratepayers will result in
marked benefits to this city at once
The agreement, which appears on
another page speaks for itself. It
will appeal to anyone as a good bar
gain. The fact that the company be
comes responsible for the local im
provement taxes on its railway prop
erty solves a knotty question affecting the improvements in Section One
of the city.
Apart altogether from the revenue
aspect the settlement is of vital im
portance to the city at this time
while it is awaiting the completion
of the railway. It removes all cause
for any ill will between the city and
the company. The settlement is
reached in an amicable way and the
company interested in the advancement of this city just as the citizens
are, will co-operate to bring the best
results. There can be no question
that such a settlement will have its
effect upon the money markets whore
the city must soon go in order to
secure the funds to carry on the undertakings which it has. in view and
those now under way. There can be
no suspicion on the part of the financiers that there is any friction between the city on the one hand and
the company on the other.
The undertakings which the company has in view and which will
start at once are of such a character
that it is almost impossible to estimate their effects upon the investing public. Ship repairing and ship
building operations require very-
large forces of men. It is work involving a very heavy expenditure.
Vessels valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars cannot be allowed to
remain idle in the repairing docks
any longer than is absolutely necessary. It is essential, therefore, that
hundreds of men must be put to
work to get the repairs necessary
completed with as little loss of time
as possible. Therefore as in other
places where similar works have been
installed there must be a very heavy
payroll.
The method which the company
will pursue of erecting the necessary
buildings for the works and then in
turn using these in the construction
of the docks will add materially to
tlfe outlay in tlie city. It will mean
that there will lee a continuous expenditure at the works from now until the actual installation of the dock
in order.
Another feature of this is not to be
overlooked. This is that the work
under way ley the company will have
a marked effect upon all who visit
the' place en- ihose who look into the
question of investments here. It will
be found that the railway company
has under course of installation
works that would do credit to a place
many times the size of Prince Rupert. This in itself gives a feeding
of stability from tlte standpoint of
i le.- investor that cannot in- overestimated.
There lias been a general approval
.•I tin- settlement by the citizens and
;i readiness shown to endorse it nt
the opportunity being given tee do so.
ENGINEER'S CRITIC
SEARS ACQUITTED
A criticism has been passed upon
the city engineer from a source
which is somewhat strange to understand at this particular time. The
engineer's department is now under
investigation with Aid. Newton as
chairman. Judging from the tone of
the criticism which the Empire passes
upon the engineer it will scarcely
seem possible to have a very impartial decision from the chairman of
the committee of investigation. We
cannot help feeling that a criticism
such as was dealt out to the engineer
should hardly be expected from the
source from which it emanated just
at this time.
Chuncil and Company
Reach a Settlement
(Continued fronTPage One)
especially in view of the fact that all
of it had not been ballasted. There
is a considerable local trade originating along it and this will develop
quickly, he thinks. There is a lot of
tlmHer that will give profitable employment to small sawmills and,
judging rrom what he saw of the
land, there are large areas of good
Harming land available for settlement.
Mr. Hays was pleased with the
progress the city was making. He
noticed a very marked improvement
since his last visit and remarked
upon the fact that he city was going
to be a beautiful one.
Council Approves
Last evening after the arrangements had been prepared, the city
council met and passed upon them in
detail. After consideration, on motion of Aid. Hilditch and Aid. Morrissey, they were unanimously passed
and ordered to be signed and tbe
seal attached.
A motion was introduced by Aid.
Smith that the city council write the
minister of railways withdrawing
the protest against the approval of
the plans of the company for Mile 0
westerly. This was interpreted as
the objections filed against the closing of Cameron Bay and Hays Cove.
It was explained that In accordance
with the gigantic scheme of works
there, the company found it necessary to do this.
Some opposition arose as to the
form of the letter, for fear it would
prejudice the city in case the company might try to close Seal Cove.
It was explained that this was not
I'ontemplated and the city would
have to be a party to any such work.
The city solicitor, Mr. Peters, was
perfectly satisfied and the matter
passed.
.Mr. Hays signed the agreements
on behalf of the company and they
now only await the signatures of the
Provincial authorities and the seal of
the company, the mayor signing here
and attaching the city seal.

NEW CONSTITUTION
Hospital Association Adopts Changes
Suggested In Bylaws
Till
NEW POST OFFICE
The settlemenl of the Grand Trunk
Pacific taxation question at this time
is important in the matter of the new
federal building for which the funds
have been voted by the Dominion
Parliament and expenditure upon
which we are assured awaits only the
settlement of tills question so as to
allow the final disposition to be made
of the site. The Dominion Government have in view n substantial
building that will do credit to the
city. yWork will begin on it as soon
as the site is filially granted and
this is to follow the settlement of the
taxation question. This is something
that will be of great benefit to the
city- being another assurance that
the- future of it is safe. A force
of men upon the massive buildings
which the Dominion will provide
could nol fail to impress those seeking a field for Investment.
Engineers to Confer
Mayor Manson at last evening's
council meeting made a request from
Air. Hays for permission to use the
old dams on Morse Creek for the
purpose of supplementing the water
supply of the city. Mr. Hays said he
had no objections whatever, but advised that it be gone into with Chief
Engineer Kelliher, who would be
given power to act when he came.
G. T. P. Appeals
The court of revision is sitting
today, hearing appeals against the
Grand Trunk Pacific lands. President Hays and Mr. Tate gave assurances to the council last evening that
they had instructed Mr. Patmore,
their solicitor not to unduly press
the cases. All they sought was to see
that the assessments were fair. The
court today laid over the consideration of railway lands and those involved in the transfer to the city
under the agreement, until after the
bylaw has been voted upon. The
other assessments are found to be
fair and sustained. David Hays and
Mr. Patmore are watching the proceedings on behalf of the company.

which defines more fully than the
old ones, the various duties pertaining to the different offices. Under
the new bylaws a managing secretary, who may be placed under

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
HOW RECIPROCITY ,
WILL AFFECT CANADA
George H. Cowan Delivers Strong Speech on the Sucject
in Frederickton, N.B.-He Goes Into the Evil
Results That Would Follow the Course
Approved by the Liberal
Government
Speaking in Frederickton, N. B.
George H. Cowan, M. P., of Van
couver, delivered a speech against
the government's policy relative to
reciprocity, which has been very
favorably commented upon In the
east. In part, Mr. Cowan said:
To gather up with the least waste
that comes from the field, the forest, the mine, and the sea, and to
work these up into the finished
product ready for use, enjoyment
and consumption by its own people
—that is the economical aim and
object of every nation. In that great
aim Canada is as well equipped by
Nature as her big competitor to the
south. Our natural resources are as
great as theirs and much further
from the point of exhaustion; as
great, too, is the skill and energy of
our citizens. Indeed, In the race
for wealth we would be as far ahead
as they are today if we had started
as soon. But we did not start as
soon; we are a younger country.
That is one of our accidental handicaps.
United States Policy
Early in their history, and before
we had the men or the money, they
had begun to develop industries that
worked up into the finished product
within their own country, their own
raw material, and gave to their own
people employment, not only in the
rough and poorly paid work of producing the raw material, but also in
the skilled and highly paid work of
converting it into the finished product, and they hud begun to give
their farmers that greatest of all
boons, a home market at their very
doors. They did all this by a tariff
which by keeping out the goods of
other countries, gave their own
home market to their home industries to work up and manufacture
similar goods out of their own raw
materials. So that today without
this treaty, and in spite of us, they
are gathering our raw material as
well as their own, into their country
there, during its manufacture to support American labor, American merchants and American industries, and
from there to be shipped over American railways, operated by well paid
American employees, back to Canada, the country from which it never
should have gone. To such an extent are they doing this, that last
year they sold back to us of these
goods $223,501,809 worth, while
they bought from us, and that, chiefly in raw material, little over one-
half that amount, or $113,150,778
worth. Indeed, during the last ten
years they have sold us sixteen hundred million dollars' worth, while we
have sold them only one-half that
amount.
Our True Policy
To cheek this torrent and not to
increase it, to make these goods at
home and not to buy them from the
States—that should be our aim. That
is the aim and is every day becoming the effect of our present fiscal
policy. That policy gives diversified
employment to labor and capital in
industries engaged in working up
our own raw material within our
own boundaries, and thus creates a
large home market for the products
of our farms. It does this by a duty
on articles that it pays us to manufacture at home, and In this way it
lias induced 200 American manufacturing companies to come into Canada and invest $226,000,000 of
American capital in vast plants on
Canadian soil, employing Canadian
workmen and supporting Canadian
farmers and merchants, while they
manufacture the very goods that
hitherto we have been buying from
the United States.
Treaty Reverses Fiscal Policy
To ratify the proposed treaty
would be to reverse our present fiscal policy and return to the primitive ways of 57 years ago. What,
then, is this thing which our two
mothers in Israel journeyed to
Washington to get, and which President Taft presented to them? What
are these new goods which these two
members of the faith have chosen
for their followers, and about which
there Is war in the gates of the Liberals today? It is, they tell us, in
the main essentials a renewal of the
old reciprocity treaty of 1854.
Tariff Inequality
Like that old treaty, it puts nat
ural products, such as the products
of the farm and the forest, on the
free list; while it leaves the duty on
all products not covered by the
treaty about twice as high when entering the United States as when entering Canada. At this time the
American tariff averaged 24 per
cent, while the Canadian averaged
lO'/i per cent; at the present time
the American tariff averages 43 per
cent, while the Canadian average is
24 per cent. So that while both
treaties put natural products on the
same footing of freedom from duty
between the two countries, they
leave all products not covered by the
treaty, on this unequal footing that
the Canadian article in order to get
into the American market has a tariff wall to jump about twice as high
as that which the American article
has to jump to get into the Canadian
Under the old our experience was
market.
Its Effect Under Old
What was the effect of this inequality under the old treaty? What
would be its effect under the new?
that while all Canadian products,
except natural products, were walled
out of the American market by a
high prohibitive tariff, the American
products came flooding into Canada
over a low tariff wall like a full unchecked torrent from the mountain
side. The cars and boats that
brought these manufactured products from the United States to Canada returned laden with the natural
product of Canada, not to be consumed in the United States but to be
shipped over American railways and
American canals to American ports,
and thence in American bottoms to
the markets of the world. Under
the old treaty, therefore, Canada became a greater consumer
of American manufactured ^;oods,
while the railways of the United
States became greater carriers of the
natural products of Canada. The;
manufacturing industries and the
carrying business of Canada were,
under the old treaty, handed over
for exploitation to the United States.
Its Effect Under New
So it will be under the new. That
perfect balance and equilibrium
which we have established, and
which ought to be preserved amongst
the three great industrial elements
of agriculture, commerce and manufacture, will again be injured and
destroyed. Under the new treaty, as
under the old, commerce and manufacture in order to evade the high
American tariff, will be encouraged
to migrate from the Canadian to the
American side of the line.
Shingles and Furniture Examples
For example, the new arrangement lets American shingles into
Canada free, but imposes a tariff of
30 cents per thousand on Canadian
shingles going into the United
States. To evade this tariff the
shingle mills of British Columbia,
for Instance, will he transferred to
the south side of the line, there to
support American labor and American merchants, and from there to
ship their shingles over American
railways hack to Canadian points for
purchase and consumption.
Again, Ihe new arrangement provides for the free interchange between the two countries of logs and
rough lumber, that go Into the manufacture of furniture, but leaves the
American tariff on furniture at 35
per cent and the Canadian at 30 per
cent, just enough difference to induce the Canadian furniture factory
to locate on tlie American side of the
line in order to get into the big market free of duty, and into the small
over the lower Canadian tariff wall.
The only chance that arrangement
gives the Canadian workmen at
Canadian timber wealth, Is the
rough and poorly paid work of felling the trees in the forest and on
the mountain side and booming them
in the water, or hauling them to the
freight yards for transportation to
the United States.
The finishing business of manufacturing these logs Into shingles
and furniture, and the business of
carrying the shingles and furniture
to the market—those things which
require the greatest amount of
labor at the greatest wage—are all
to be done In the United States.
Surely this is a game of "heads I
but for the Canadian a policy of
selling the hide for a dime, and buying back the tail for a dollar."
And the shingle business, and the
furniture business are only examples
chosen from all the industries. They
are specimen bricks of the whole
structure. The whole tendency of
this obnoxious treaty is not only to
shift from Canada to the United
States the manufacturing business
and the carrying trade of Canada,
but also to confine the employment
of labor in Canada to the muscular,
mill-horse grind of merely producing
the natural products and the raw
material that are on the free list.
Governor Foss and H. M. Whitney,
both of Boston, are therefore right
when they tell their own people, that
the treaty will tend to divert the
carrying trade of Canada to the
United states, to locate the elevators
for storing and handling Canadian
grain on the south side of the line,
and to transfer the home ports of
Canadian steamers from Montreal,
Halifax and St. John, to Boston,
New York and Portland.
Equilibrium of Industrial Forces
As I have said, we have in Canada
the right relation of the three great
industrial forces of agriculture,
commerce and manufacture, the one
to the other. Our fiscal policy contains no tribute from any one class
to any other class; on the contrary,
It has improved the condition of the
farmer and the workingman, and so
induces a condition of general prosperity, In which the farmer, the
workingman and every citizen gets
his full and fair share. There is
proof of this. Mr. Coats, of the
Labor Gazette, has made an excellent report on wholesale prices in
Canada, which the government has
published as an official document.
From it we learn that during the
last 20 years the things the Canadian farmer has produced for sale
and has sold has gone up in price 37
per cent, while the things he has had
to buy have gone up only 14 per
cent in price. The same is true of
the workingman. Indeed, it is
scarcely too much to say that a fixed
amount of almost any kind of farm
produce, or a fixed amount of almost
any kind of labor, will purchase in
Canada today almost one and one-half
times as much manufactured goods
as it would have purchased 20 or 25
years ago. So that the condition of
both the farmer and the working-
man in Canada is steadily improving.
Labor
Two causes have operated to improve labor conditions in Canada.
One is labor unions, and the other is
protection. Protection has increased
the number and variety of industries
in Canada; and where there is the
greatest number of different kinds
of industry there labor is the most
abundantly employed and best paid.
I am not a believer in low wages
and cheap labor, such as we had under the old treaty of 1854, such as
we will have under the new. Under
that old treaty wages were so low
that they crushed the energy, the
spirit and the heart out of the
workmen, I do not want to see a
return to these conditions in Canada.
I believe that our first duty is to
multiply, and not to diminish the
number and variety of our manufacturing and our railway and other
activities, so as to give our workmen steady employment at a fail-
wage. The commodity the laborer
has to sell is his labor, and the
greater the variety of industries employing labor the greater the demand for the commodity he has to
sell. That demand should be constant, because labor is the most perishable of all commodities. Unlike
every other citizen, he who cannot
sell his morning's labor before noon
can never sell it; it is gone. The
wage rate is the best gang" of a
nation's prosperity.
When wages are high the profits
of capital are high and the country
is prosperous, it is the reduction of
these that makes bad times. An Irish
Immigrant was heard to say that he
colud buy as much for a shilling in
Ireland as he could for a dollar in
this country. "Why did you not stay
there?" he was asked. "Because I
could not get the shilling.'.' And, by
tect our labor market, and protect
our carrying trade.
We cannot. In 1860 the government of the old province of Canada,
seeing the necessity of this, increased the duty on cotton and
woolen goods, on boots and shoes,
and leather goods, and a variety of
other articles which Canada could
manufacture at home and which
they wished to see manufactured at
home, and with the revenue they got
from this tariff they began to build
railways and canals. At once the
cry went up from the Americans
that this wa a hardship to the manufacturing business and the carrying
business of the United States, that
although it was not a violation of
the terms of the treaty, it was a perversion of its spirit, and in 1866
they abrogated the treaty. Will they
do it again? Of course they will.
Indeed, this time they have taken
the precaution to make it an express
term of the treaty that we cannot
move our tariff up or down, either
on the natural products which are
free or on many of the more important manufactured products, on
which by the treaty the rate is fixed.
Power of Government Paralyzed
So, on almost everything that we
manufacture or produce in Canada
the hand that raises or lowers the
Canadian tariff is to be paralyzed
and remain paralyzed as long as the
treaty endures. No matter how
much we may need more revenue,
no matter how much we may want to
protect our home market or foster
and develop new industries, or give
labor new and better employment,
we cannot do it. To do it would be
to bring about the abrogation of the
treaty.
The Tariff the Only Power
Remember, the government of
Canada, the government of any
country, has first the duty to maintain public order, but it has also the
right to oversee the industrial development of the country It may
encourage and develop an industry
by giving it a bounty on its output
or its export. But the great instrument, and practically the only instrument by which the government can
develop the industries and home
market of Canada, is the tariff. The
tariff, the customs duty, with the
power to raise and lower It at will
as the needs of the country demand,
is the instrument, the high tower,
the fenced way, with which our industries and our home market are
compassed round about as with a
shield, when they need protection
and defence, and when we are free
from treaty tangles. That instrument, Messrs. Fielding and Paterson,
out of the great heap of their too
ripe wisdom, have decided to hang
up to rust upon the wall, and to
President Taft they have pledged
their word, and they say our honor,
that the instrument shall rust upon
the wall as long as this treaty is in
force.
Honor
Honor? When we ask the government to consult the people before
passing this treaty, Mr. Fielding an-,
swers that he and Mr. Paterson have
pledged our national honor to the
United States to pass it without consulting the people. To keep that
pledge of honor with the United
States, Sir Wilfrid must break his
own pledge of honor to the people of
Canada, his pledge not to revise or
tamper with the tariff' until that
commission had reported.
"What is honor? A word. What
is that word honor? Air. .A trim
reckoning. What hath it? He that
died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel
it? No. Then I'll none of it; honor
is a mere escutcheon—and so ends
my catechism."
New Treaty Worse Than Old
So that, bad as the old treaty was
tor the manufacturing business and
the labor interests of Canada, this
new treaty is infinitely worse. As
they would say in the west, il has
tlie old treaty on the pan and roasted
to a fairy whisper. Under these circumstances, President Taft's expressed desire for

that it was thought that without
these she must either come into the
union or go into bankruptcy. She
did neither. Although Canada had
put the neck of her manufacturer
and of her workmen in the Yankee
halter, as it is proposed to do again,
with the rope in the hands of Uncle
Sam, and although Uncle Sam
twitched the rope when he thought
it would hurt the most, still Canada
survives.
After abrogation we had many
long and lean years of blighted production and paralyzed trade. We
had .however, an annual and plentiful crop of blue ruinists and secessionists, and commercial unionists,
and continental free traders, and
reciprocity agitators, the last rump
and remnant of which you will find
on Parliament Hill today behind this
reciprocity pact.
Fathers of Confederation
But, besides this weedy crop, the
perilous situation in Canada brought,
forth men equal to the peril,
statesmen of stout heart, men such
as Sir John Macdonald, Hon. Geo.
Brown, your own Sir Leonard Til-
ley, Sir Chas. Tupper, and the other
fathers of Confederation and pioneers of Confederated Canada. Into
better men, leaders and followers,
Almighty never infused the breath of
life. Liberals some, Conservatives
others, patriots all, men all of them,
who loved their country, who believed in her, who honored her and
who worked for her.
Their Policy
What did they do, and aim at doing for Canada? They labored, and
we have entered into the fruit of
their labors. Their spell of toil is
accomplished, and ours is now the
task of carrying on their work.. They
dug the foundation of Canada. What
was that foundation, and is reciprocity a fitting superstructure for us to
raise upon it? What was their aim,
what their all-embracing policy?
What, but Canadian nationality
j within the Empire, Canadian resources for Canadian development,
Canadian and Brilish capital for
Canadian industry, Canadian workmen for Canadian production, Canadian routes for Canadian trade.
To that end they first addressed
themselves to the task of uniting the
four old provinces into one confederation, a task which they accomplished in 1S67. . Ilul their object
was not to make a united and therefore stronger effort for a new reciprocity treaty, as Mr Fielding says.
In 1869 they purchased the great
Northwest, the largest and most
profitable real estate deal the world
ever saw. Then in 1870 they brought
Manitoba Into the union, In 1871
British Columbia, and In 1x711 they
rounded off Confederal ion by bringing in Prince Edward Island. To
strengthen that union, and to gel
back the carrying trade which had
been diverted to the United states
by the old treaty, they undertook and
carried oul the- herculean task of
building the Intercolonial and the
more Intimate | Canadian Pacific Railways and of
Excursions!

wick want to return to that condition? Wages were never so low as
they were under the old treaty from
1S54 to 1866; they were never so
high as they are today.
Abrogation, li' Relief Is Sought
But, it may be said, that If at any
time after this treaty goes into operation we find that its tendency is
to wipe out the manufacturing business and carrying business of Canada, and to reduce Canadian labor
to a state of pauperism, then we can
by means of the tariff protect the
property.
'As for those who, like Mr. Fielding,
profess to believe that Mr. Taft Is
making this treaty a labor of love
on behalf of Canada—well, theirs is
that credulity which although the
strength of the child, is the weakness
of the full-grown man, or else it is
the innocence of the sheep exposing
the fallacies of vegetarianism, as it
itself is being led to slaughter.

employment io capital and labor, to
hring production and manufacture,

our home markets, and by a variety
of employment to create a demand
for labor, those great leaders inaugurated the National Policy in 1S7S.
Effects of Their Policy
Under the old treaty Canada had
been a house divided against itself,
each province had traded with the
State or States south of it, and but]
|ing, or next to nothing, it has grown
and outstripped the whole of the foreign trade of Canada Then, as distinguished from this interprovincial
trade, is that other branch of the
home market, the trade between city
and country. This and the interprovincial trade together afford a
market for more than 80 per cent of
Canada's total production. And that
yearly production of Canada has
gone into amazing figures away beyond the billion mark; until today
it is greater per head of the population than that of any other nation
in the world. These enormous products find a ready, a safe and a sure
market, at good prices—no less than
80 per cent of them within our own
borders at the door of the prodni-or
or within rail reacb of the producer

How Reciprocity Will Affect Canada
i Continued from Page Five)
Changed Conditions
How absurd and fatal to the future of Canada it is to ignore the
fact that the conditions of today are
entirely different from those of fifty-
seven years ago. This is not 1854;
this is 1911, and things have
changed. In those old days there was
no union of the provinces as now,
and therefore no united effort and
strength, as now, to devlop a home
market, or find a foreign market;
there was no great centre-of trade
and no sure top price British market
as now. On the contrary, the old
provinces shortly before that In
1846 had lost their advantage and
preference in the British market by
the repeal of the corn laws, and bad
lost too the best part of their home
market, because that same repeal
had driven more than half of their
merchants and manufacturers into
bankruptcy. There they were as unlike the Canada of today as anything
could be—a few scattered communities of farmers, fishermen, lumbermen and mining men, spread out
in thin settlements along the American boundary, with their own market
glutted with American goods dumped
in at slaughter prices with an exhausted exchequer and a crippled
credit—are those the conditions of
Canada today? Are they not the reverse of the conditions of today?
Since those old days distance has
been annihilated and not the United
States alone, but the whole world is
our market; we have multiplied by
science and art the production of the
land; we have extended our strength
by making the water power of our
streams do the work of thousands;
we have traversed this northern half
Of the continent by railroads, and
the surrounding sea and our inland
waters by steam; we have transmitted our thoughts over a continent by
wire and by wireless.
How absurd then under these
changed conditions is this talk of
reciprocity as the historic policy of
Canada.
The Farmer
Even to the farmer the old treaty
was not an unmixed blessing. While
it added to his market in the United
States, it injured his legitimate market—his home market—by injuring
the manufacturing and the carrying
business of Canada. The prices he
got for his products in the United
States he got not because of the
treaty, but in spite of the treaty,
especially during the later years of
the treaty. During those years a
civil war was raging in the United
States, farm production there was a
a standstill and they had to have our
farm produce at war prices—tariff
or no tariff.
Merits of Home Market
Even if the United States under
reciprocity did afford to our farmers
a better price for their produce, still
it would not be as good a market as
our own home market. The home
market is always better than any
foreign country can give; it is beyond the reach of a hostile legislation; it reduces to a minimum the
cost of transportation; the profits
arising from it always accrue to citizens of Canada—like Mercy, It is
twice blest; it blesseth him that
gives and him that takes; in it there
can be no balance of trade against
Canada, and therefore no gold withdrawn from Canada to meet that balance. Would it not then be to let
in at the spigot and out at the bung
—to seek an uncertain market in the
United States at the expense of a
sure market at home?
Potatoes
On the 28th of February last in
the House of Commons, the Hon. Mr.
Fisher used these rather remarkable
words: "Now, I want to say a word
about potatoes. In twelve years of
high duties the United States accepted from Canada $11,000,000 worth
of potatoes more than they sent into
Canada." His statement Is a little
over twenty times too big. To be
true, It has to be reduced to less than
one-twentieth of its present size. If
the rest of Mr. Fisher were also reduced to less than one-twentieth of
his present size, the Lilliputians
whom Gulliver met in his travels
would be giants In comparison. The
true figures were brought down on
the 29th of March and they show
that dinin gthose years the United
States sent to us $1,419,651 worth
of potatoes, and we sent to them
$1,958,886, or only $539,235 more
than they sent to us. So much for
the big words of little men.
American Market a Plmntnsmngorln
So far then we find that the Canadian price has been higher than the
American, and so It will be to the
end, "so flows the stream, and shall
forever flow." And thus we see that
this phantasmagoria of an American
market for Canadian farm produce
becomes, upon closer scrutiny, a suc
cession of dissolving views. And all
the while we are chasing this phantom of better prices, we are compelling the farmer to pay duty on everything he buys, and to our Canadian
market we are giving free access to
the farm produce not only of the
United States but of 650,000,000
people besides. To attempt to find
a market in a country that has a surplus of everything we produce for
export Is to seek a market for coal
at Sydney. But the crowning act of
folly is to expose our farmers without let or hindrance to the clog and
glut of the surplus farm produce of
all but four of the great nations of
the earth.
Favored Nations
With twelve nations outside the
United States and the British Empire, Canada has treaties which contain what is known as the favored
nation clause. Most of these nations
are large exporters of farm products
and by virtue of that clause Canada
has to let that product come into the
Canadian market free. The moment
she enters into this treaty with the
United States, by virtue of the treaty
itself the produce of the British Empire will also be let into the Canadian market free, and by virtue of
our treaty with France, certain
French products wil lalso enjoy freedom in our markets. So that with
the exception of Germany, Italy,
Belgium and The Netherlands, all
the big exporting nations of the
world with their population of 650,-
000,000 will be left free to flood our
market with their produce, when
overproduction In their own country
makes it pay them. In the middle
of March last 750 carcasses of Australian lambs were landed in St.
John, and after paying our duty of
three cents per pound the undersold
our Canadian lamb by one cent per
pound, there and in Montreal and
Toronto.
Duration Uncertain
And then there is the uncertainty
as to how long this treaty if ratified
is to remain in force. The written
documents say that it is intended It
shall remain in force for a considerable period, but no one seems to
know, and no one has yet ventured
to say just how long a period a considerable period is. Under these circumstances no large factory would
establish itself on the Canadian side
in the hope of catering to the 100,-
000,000 people of both countries, because of the chance that 90 per cent
of that market might be cut off at
any time by the termination of the
treaty. And for the same reason, no
farmer or producer of raw material
in Canada would venture extensive
changes in his mode of production.
Opening Wedge of Separation
But why multiply objections to
this blunder ? Not one single valid
arg.iment can be adduced in support
of ;his atrocious crime against the
vested rights of citizens, the constitutional rights of provinces and the
manifest duty and destiny of Canada
as a part of the British Empire. By
what right and on what principle can
two men, without the mandate or
knowledge or consent, and against
the wish of the people, in secret conclave with a foreign power, barter
away, without the authority of law,
the protection, and, therefore, the income, property and individual rights
of one set of men, such as the men
engaged in the fruit industry in British Columbia, in order to gain a
trade opening for another set of men
engaged in some other industry, and
that, too, without giving the injured
men a hearing?
What right have these two men to
drive an opening wedge into the trade
between the provinces, and to force
each to trade, not with the other
provinces, but with the state or
states to the south of it, in violation
of the commercial object of Confederation, which was interprovincial
trade, and to the dislocation and disruption of the lines of trade we have
been developing for forty years, and
to drive us back to where we were
forty years ago? By no right and on
no principle of justice are these
things done.
Pin-ling of Ways a Mesmerism
This parting of the ways is just
the mesmerism of Mr. Taft over Mr.
Fielding and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. In
years gone by, sometimes as continental free traders, sometimes as secessionists, again as independence aspiring to "sever the ripe fruit from
the parent tree," always as men helpless to develop a home market, these
same two gentlemen have always
gazed with longing eyes across the
boundary on what looked to them
fresh spots. Little wonder is it,
therefore, that they are listening
now to the song of the charmer, to
the siren song of the annexationist
across the line, to the crafty, Tafty
song of reciprocity, to the song of
brotherly love—but of a brother's
birthright. Do you want heir mess

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL
How Reciprocity Will Affect Canada
(Continued From Page Six)
the British standard on the hills of
New Brunswick? Their bodies lie
beneath the soil they left you, but
the place is still fragrant with their
memory, and their loyal spirit is still
the inspiring genius of the land. Tell
me, then, whether that love of British connection with which we all imbibed with our mother's milk, is dying out in eastern Canada. The people of New Brunswick enjoy this
unique distinction over the other
older provinces, that their loyalty
never was in question. Liberals and
Conservatives alike—the rank and
file of the electorate of New Brunswick, have always been reputed loyal
to Britain and to Britain's flag. That
very fact It Is that Induces us sons
of eastern Canada when we come
amongst you to open our mind and
heart to you as to the national effect
of this treaty on provinces west of
the Great Lakes. We have gone out
from amongst you, gone out to the
west, gone out and learned something of the conditions in which we
have lived, and with which we have
been surrounded. And we cannot
help observing that we are but the
few amongst the many in the west.
The many, if measured by the standard of Canadian citizenship as we
learned It in our boyhood in the east,
are as yet without some of our Ideals
and aspirations. They have come
from countries to which but recently
they owed allegiance, countries
which still hold their pride and
claim their affections. Busied with
their new pursuits, as yet they have
not learned nor had the opportunity
of learning to feel that love for Canada and that pride in our great fortune to have inherited. We of your
own breed and get in those western
provinces feel that we are there as
a leaven to leaven the lump; we are
to do our share towards inspiring in
the many a patriotism and a love of
country as yet unfelt. It is but natural that things Canadian should be
strange to them, that they for example should object to the singing of
Canadian songs in their schools, natural and therefore not easy to eradicate. It will be doubly hard, if by
this treaty, and by the economic
forces it will call Into being our
prairie settlers from the south are
compelled still to trade with the
south, and are denied even a chance
of becoming Canadianized. Is that
a matter of indifference to eastern
Canada? Without jurisdiction in the
matter of education it is only
through such agencies as trade and
commerce that the Dominion can
fashion the national traits and characters of the people.
Burden of Responsibility
Has eastern Canada becmoe indifferent to this? By this treaty you
are going to increase the heavy burden of responsibility already on the
Canadian born citizen of the west,
until he sinks under the weary load.
He Is willing to buy his food products, and his manufactured goods In
the east, because the policy that
compels him to do so is also the
guarantee of the peaceful progress
and growth of Canadian nationality
in the west. This pact reverses that,
and the reversal is proposed by the
strong party in the pact as a distinct
step towards the definite end of political union. Can we hear that proposal and take the commercial benefits of the treaty without accepting
that proposal also? I think not. It
Is the east that should now feel what
the fiscal and political independence
of Canada really Is and what Its loss
would really mean, and It is upon the
east that the responsibility rests today. Already it would seem that in
high places In the east there are men
obcessed with a strong pro-American
and, perhaps, a stronger anti-British
feeling. The latter feeling was in
evidence last session in the naval debate when it denied Great Britain
all voice in our naval autonomy; the
former feelin gis in evidence this session in the reciprocity debate, and
gives the United States all voice In
our fiscal autonomy. These are the
gentlemen who fly in a rage and say
that it is an insult to their intelligence when the British flag is mentioned. But, thank God, the British
flag still appeals with irresistible
force to many and, I hope, the majority of Canadians born beneath Its
ample folds, still speaks to them of
the glories of the storied and historic past, still points to the duties of
the present, and the hopes of the future—Inspiring them as they gaze
upon its proud blazonry with the ambition that Canada will march down
through the centuries as the foremost nation in that great family of
British nations which together stand,
as a mighty power, for the spread of
Christianity, the advance of civilization, and the peace of the world.

Prince Rupert.
TAXATION AGREEMENT
Pacific toast Representative of the
Company Visited City and
Feels Time Is Ripe
Mr. Alexander Baillie, the Pacific
coast representative of Balfour,
Guthrie & Co., 'lee- world-wide shipping firm, paid Prince Rupert a visit
this week. He came as the guest of
Charles M. Hays, the president of the
Grand Trunk Pacific, for the purpose
of looking into the situation from
the standpoint of opening a branch
in this city.
Mr. Baillie was astonished at conditions as he found them here. He
had been prejudicially affected by inspired reports in the south, in which
an attempt was made to belittle the
city in every way. The opinion Mr.
Baillie formed on his first visit completely dispels all these preconceived
notions. He was astonished at the
facilities which were possessed here
in a shipping line and at the progress
made.
The territory over which Mr. Bail-
lie exercises control for his company,
he being a shareholder in it, covers
San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver. They are heavily interested in the handling of
grain and lumber, chartering vessels
and making shipments to all parts
of the globe. There is not a port in
the world where the name of the
firm is not known.
Speaking to a representative of
The Journal, Mr. Baillie expressed
the opinion that the time was very
near when his company would require to be represented here. He
looks to Prince Rupert to become a
great wheat shipping point when the
road is completed and of necessity
his firm will be here.
A visit to the government dock
where the reinforced concrete piles
were being put in place, was a point
nf intense interest to this shipping
man. He had never seen such work
before and this perhaps more than
anything else he saw in the place
convinced him of the fact that this
was destined to be a great port.
"The time Is very near," he said
"when We must get in here."
The company acts as agents for
the Harrinian line of steamers from
European ports to San Francisco,
Seattle and Vancouver. This line
has just recently been put on the
route to Vancou er and a monthly
freight service Is provided by It. Mr.
Baillie feels that the time Is not very
far distant when Prince Rupert must
be added to the ports of call. Even
at the present time he Is prepared,
as freight offers in sufficient quantity, to have this made a port of call.
He came to Prince Rupert feeling
that there was a great future for it.
He left it feeling that its business
life was really starting and that It
would require industrial concerns to
be alive to keep up with the demands
which are now being felt here.
Captain Gibson, of the stevedoring
company operating in Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver, was a visitor to
the <it yby the Prince Itupert. He
was accompanied by his daughter.
